Simplify

Maybe a misfit, a rebel am I

In this world of complexities galore

All I want to do is simplify-

 

I am tired of constantly hunting for more

Adding more variables to every equation

Acquiring devices of increasing sophistication

Adding more “features”, more “applications”

Labeled indispensable for life’s “simplification”..

Inherent is the implication that life before

These gadgets was difficult and complicated

Technology today has opened new doors

Leaving older ways of living quite antiquated..

**

In my quirkiness, I beg to differ

With each novel device and application

Life which used to be a shade simpler

Acquires a deeper hue of elaboration

Devious is the way this process operates

Creating a need where none existed

Then there is a simple process that satiates

This artificial need- the logic is twisted!

**

Increasingly enslaved by technology

My jaded mind just wants to break free

Downsize, declutter, simplify is my ideology

I strongly recommend one or more of the three!
